It would be great if he can be in your incubator. I have the same kind and I can fit small dishes in mind. Yes he definitely still has a chance. The duckling in my avatar was on day 11 when it hatched, and day 13 when that pic was taken. It's a long story, but I had 2 groups of mallard eggs, one group on day 28 and one on day 9. The 28 day old ducks were hatching and it was going great when suddenly i realized the egg I marked in the day 11 group was zipping! I thought "I must've just marked that one wrong somehow." I figured it was some mistake. I went to bed. When I woke up at 5 to check on them, 4 more day 11 eggs had hatched! Perfectly healthy babies. I was appalled. I woke everyone up to come see. I had 9 eggs in each batch, I know they were on day 11 because I keep super meticulous records of everything. They all coordinated it by clicking to each other. Out of 18 eggs, 17 hatched. The one I lost was an older baby. So if you count the days they were alive the baby in my avatar would have been on day 13 in that pic, less than halfway. I am so amazed by that. Anyway, yours is way further along than mine were so he definitely has a higher chance. He looks very healthy too. Good job!Thank you, here is another picture that shows better. When he lifted his leg I could see it still attached with a small sac I think. If I put him in the bowl should i have him under a heat light or in my small bathroom with high humidity? If he is at day 25 or 26 does he still have a chance? Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it so much! He is darling!View attachment 2103029
